Summary: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of subthreshold depressive episodes and major depressive episodes in college students during the COVID-19 pandemic in southern Chile, as well as the association between social and economic factors and these depressive symptoms. The results showed that both subthreshold and major depressive symptoms were common in college students, and their associations with social and economic factors varied.

Summary: Subthreshold depression is a condition that significantly impacts quality of life and increases the risk of developing major depressive disorder. Through a systematic search and analysis of 15 studies, it was found that non-pharmacological interventions have a significant effect in preventing the onset of MDD and improving depressive symptoms. These interventions were particularly effective in general adult populations, during short-term follow-up periods, among pregnant women, and in universal prevention programs. Timely detection and treatment of subthreshold depression is feasible and important in effectively delaying or preventing the onset of major depressive disorder.

Summary: This meta-analysis revealed small to moderate deficits in episodic memory in individuals with depression, with older age, clinical depression, and medication usage exacerbating these deficits. However, deficits were less pronounced in memory for negative material and with higher educational attainment. These findings underscore the importance of considering cognitive symptoms in diagnosing and treating depression.

Summary: MDD is characterized by persistent depressed mood, loss of interest or pleasure in previously enjoyable activities, recurrent thoughts of death, and physical and cognitive symptoms. It is a complex disorder caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, psychological and biological factors. Treatment involves pharmacological therapy with antidepressant medications, psychotherapy or a combination of both, and other biological therapies may be considered for severe and/or treatment-resistant cases.

Summary: This study explored the association between somatic symptoms and subthreshold depression (SD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), and determined the predictive potential of somatic symptoms in identifying SD and MDD in primary care. The results showed that somatic symptoms were associated with the presence of SD and MDD, and energy-related symptoms had good predictive potential.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis of 23 studies on facial emotion recognition accuracy in MDD patients, showing that those in inpatient settings and with severe symptom severity were less accurate in recognizing happy facial expressions. Studies with longer stimulus durations also found lower accuracy levels in depressed participants.

Summary: This review evaluated the impact of comorbid depression on adverse outcomes in patients with peripheral arterial disease. The results showed that depressed patients were more likely to be women, diabetic, have a history of smoking, and have chronic limb threatening ischaemia. Depressed patients had a 20% increased risk of major adverse limb events, but no increased risk of death or major adverse cardiovascular events. Analysis of other comorbidities and demographic variables did not demonstrate a significant contribution to the risk of major adverse limb events.

Summary: The research found that individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder (SSDs) experience higher levels of physical and social anhedonia compared to controls. Depressive symptom severity influences the differences in physical anhedonia, while age moderates the differences between social and physical anhedonia in the SSD group.

Summary: The study found that MDD was more common in patients with alcoholic liver disease, while antidepressant usage was common in both ALD and NAFLD patients. MDD was not associated with decompensated cirrhosis-free survival, but mirtazapine may increase the risk of decompensated cirrhosis or death.

Summary: Mindfulness training is effective in reducing symptoms, preventing relapse, and improving prognosis among patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), especially for those with high trait mindfulness. In a study of 126 hospitalized MDD patients, trait mindfulness level was found to be associated with MDD severity, age, marital status, and quality of life. The findings suggest that characterizing trait mindfulness levels can help predict treatment efficiency, establish a prognosis, and identify therapeutic targets for mindfulness-related interventions.

Summary: Opioid-gabapentinoid combination therapy may increase the risk of CNS depression and mortality, but the risk of gastrointestinal adverse events can be tolerated. Close monitoring of the CNS depression is necessary, especially in cancer patients receiving combination therapy. Caution is needed in interpreting the clinical meanings due to the lack of significant differences in respiratory depression risk in RCT analysis and the absence of RCT or prospective studies investigating mortality.

Summary: This study suggests that psychological interventions are likely effective in treating perinatal depression, with effects lasting at least 6-12 months. It may also have effects on social support, anxiety, functional impairments, parental stress, and marital stress. However, caution should be exercised due to high heterogeneity in the analysis.

Summary: This umbrella review examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health. It found that depression, anxiety, and general mental health symptoms have increased in the general population and in individuals with chronic physical health conditions during the pandemic. The increase in depression symptoms was larger and longer-lasting compared to anxiety symptoms. Females and younger age groups showed a greater increase in anxiety symptoms. However, the methodological quality of the included reviews was generally low to moderate.

Summary: Common mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety, are leading causes of disability worldwide. In low-resource settings, psychosocial interventions delivered through task-sharing modalities have been proven effective in expanding access to mental healthcare. However, the specific components of these interventions that are most efficacious in reducing symptoms of common mental disorders, and for whom, have yet to be substantiated by evidence.
